' To all whom 'it may concern:

Beit known that I, FRIDOLIN Sci-HFFRLE,

a citizen of the United States, residing at the l metal vessel doservice much longer by the city of St. Louis, in the county of St. Louisand State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful Improvementsin Culinary Vessels',

and I do declare the following to he afull, clear,

Y and exact description ofthe invention, such asrwll enable othersskilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same,reference being had to the accompanying drawings, and to the letters andtlgures of reference marked thereon, which form a part of thisspecilication. Y I

The object of this invention is to improve culinary or kitchen utensilsby attaching theretoa reinovablejacket or protector in such manner thatthe wear will come upon the protector instead of upon the utensilitself', which in such case can he made of much thinner and lightermaterials, and at the same time be durable;

and the invention consists in theconstruction ot' and the applicationofthe protector to the utensil, as will be fully hereinafter described.

In `the drawings, Figure 1 represents a partlybroken side view ofateakettle with a proy tector attached. Fig. 2 represents apartsectional view of a hailed kettle with a protector attached. Fig'. 3represents a sectional view of a frying-pan and a bottom view of itsprotector. Fig. 4 represents a sectional view of a frying-pan and itsprotector modified in its" y application. Fig. 5 represents a sectionalview of attaching.

ot' an enameled saucepan and its protector attached. Fig. 6 represents asectional view of a brass kettle within a protector and the mode It iswell known toall who use culinary vessels, and especially such as aremade from thin sheet metal and applied to directheat, that theyareliableto burn outatthe point where theheat is mostintense; also, thatallsuch vessels are in danger of being damaged by being bruised'inhandling, and especially so when the metalof which they are consti-notedis in a heated condition; and my invention of the attachingof protectorsto al1 such vessels will e-i'ectnally prevent. the bruising and verymuch prolong the usefulness oi' the vessel itself, and when the vesselitself becomes useless it can easily and quickly be removed from the`protector and a new vessel insertedwand secured in its place, or, ifthe protector is broken, burned ont, or worn out, it can be removed andanew one can be attached, thus making a thin sheetuse of a protector thatcosts but a trilie.

The teakettle A (shown in Fig. l) is of the common construction, fromsheet-tin, and has the protector A formed to iit upon andembrace themost exposed parts of the kettle to either heat or blows, whichprotector, when so fitted, is secured to the body A of the kettle by therivets a in the flange a thereof, that pass through the'metal of thebody otl` the kettle and ange of the protector.

The protector A may be formed from sheetmetalor from cast metal, as maybe desired. In Fig. 2'is represented` a modification ot' the sameinvention, but the protector is constructed and applied to the vessel tocover ex'- pose'd parts and the bottom completely, and

' has a narrow ange, c', rising upward on the outside of the vvesselhigh enough to protect the angle thereof where the sides and bottommeet, with upwardly-rising straps a-two or more in number-to or near thetop of the vessel; and the rivets a are placed in holes in these straps,and thence pass through the body of the vessel, and are then riveted.It' a bail is necessary, (shown in Fig. 2,) the straps' c extend highenough above the rim ot the vessel to form bail-ears, .into which thebail is secured in the usual way.,

In Fig. 3 is represented a frying-pamthe body ofwhich is of sheet-iron,and the bottom of'which in use is subjected to a high degree of heat,and the center of the bottom is quickly burned out, and the protector to.this is a 4cir'- cular cast grating, B, having a circular center, B',and grate-hars b, with openings b between the grate-bars surrounding thecenter B. lIhis protector .has two or more straps with the rivets c tohold the protector fast to the body A, the same as in Fig. 3.

In Fig. 4 is represented another fryingpan, having the protector tocoverthe center of the bottom of the pan, and firmly riveted thereto bythe rivets c.

. In Fig. 5 is represented a saucepan, the body A of which is enameledupon sheet metal, and the protector A covers the bottom, and has anupturned iiange, A, secured to the body A by the rivets IOO In Fig. 6 isrepresented a kettle, of sheetbrass, the body A being thin and liable tobe bruised or indented, and to protect such kettle from being bruised orburned by heat the 5 protector A is of cast metal, which entirely coversthe outside of the kettle, and is firmly attached to the body by therivets or screwbolts a. y

I have described and shown how and in what 1o manner my protector may beapplied and secured to vessels ot' dit'erent shapes and for differentuses, the gist of my invention being to show the adaptation of the sameprotector lo the many. different. kinds of vessels in use.

15 I do not claim simply riveting one part to another part of a vessel,as handles and ears for hails have been so secured; bu What I do claimis- A culinary vessel, A,having a protector, A', secured thereto byrivets L through straps a, zo and the bottom thereof having concentricopen spaces b', and intermediate bars b, and a solid center, B', andouter ring, B, as and for the purposes described.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature in z5 presence of twoWitnesses.
